If AMD is making the CPUs and GPUs for current consoles, why is it naming them after old consoles?

This should be "by the seller", if it wasn't obvious.

Nor can people run Bob's Game on a Nintendo handheld because a lawyer prevented Robert Pelloni from buying a devkit to port it. Indie games are far more likely to be PC exclusives simply because the developer cannot buy a console devkit.

How do you get diabetes from Diet Mtn Dew, and how do you get "hypertension & stomach disorders" from coffee or Diet Mtn Dew in moderation?

Then mention in passing to the insurer that Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Sprite Zero, Diet Mtn Dew, Pepsi Max, and Dr Pepper Ten aren't exactly "insulin bombs".

Some PC games have DRM, but then again some console games (such as one of the Spyro games for PS1) have additional copy protection above and beyond the console's proprietary disc format. But the vast majority of PC games on GOG or Humble Bundle are DRM-free, as are open-source games downloaded from the developer's own web site.

Or were you referring to Secure Boot in Windows 8 (x86 and x86-64)? You can turn that off.

Probably liked Captain Jack better than We Drink Ritalin.

Better yet, watch One-Winged Angel set your Xbox One to Mandarin: "Xbox, pekingese, near a bear, manatee, SEPHIROTH".

If Microsoft is ditching the "Xbox Live" branding, then what's the new name for the additional recurring fee payable to Microsoft to access the Netflix VOD subscription that you're already paying for?

Bulldozer is SMT with each of two threads given its own integer pipe.

That's strange: There was already a console called the "Jaguar" (made by Atari), one called the "GCN" (abbreviation for GameCube, made by Nintendo), and one called the "Xbox 1" (the original Xbox, made by Microsoft, gained this name after the 360 came out).

Will it have indie games like the PC has? I didn't see anything in the Wired article about an Xbox One counterpart to XNA.

How many PC games support offline multiplayer nowadays? I have three USB game controllers, and they all work in emulated games and those few games made for the PC that support multiple controllers. But too many games made for the PC are coded under the assumption that each player will have his own PC, as opposed to a single PC connected to the TV.

Some people also play games that get contractually written exclusive to the PC because none of the console makers are willing to sign the game's developer.

According to the Wired article, that'll depend on the game. It claims that "you can still play a single-player game without being connected to the Internet," but not all games will allow this: "developers are able to offload significant chunks of processing power to the cloud—conceivably even fundamental game mechanics like physics engines or collision-detection systems."

From the Wired article:

But other possibilities also come to mind. If developers are able to offload significant chunks of processing power to the cloud—conceivably even fundamental game mechanics like physics engines or collision-detection systems

If the game mechanics run remotely, then it's essentially a glorified OnLive and will require always-on wired broadband. I thought people bought consoles in part because they live outside the service area of cable and fiber or just to have something to do during an Internet outage. Yet something later in the article contradicts that:

(Don’t worry; you can still play a single-player game without being connected to the Internet.)
